Mllionaires after rescuing a winning lottery ticket - from a BIN. Former soldier Geordie Rhodick, 71, threw his Euromillions ticket in the waste after a quick check of his numbers revealed he had won nothing in the main draw. But his wife Betty, 63, fished it out and took it to their local shop - to be told they had struck it lucky in the Millionaire Maker raffle. After discovering he had landed a seven-figure windfall, the army veteran had no thoughts of immediately spending his fortune.
